Have you ever watched DD Movie Mix – The Most Wanted by Doordarshan Trivandrum? If you haven't, tune on to DD TVM on Saturday evenings at 7.30. For several months now, it is the only program that I really want to watch. I miss some episodes if I am out of home at that time. However, if I am home, I can't miss the program.
Now you might ask what is so special about this program. In fact, there is nothing so special about this program. I just like the clean jokes and innocent teasing the main host (Anoop) cracks on his co-anchor (Parvathy – for some time now) and the (almost exclusively) women and girls who give in a call.
Unlike in several other cases, the callers (and the teased) don't really have a reason to feel bad about. I have seen programs, where the participants are left with bitter feelings. I hate those programs in some channels, which have some anchors, who can't talk proper Malayalam and can't help insult their guests. I really feel like throwing a brick at their heads.
It is in such condition that I really like one program. This program has nothing of much glamour – just a few minutes of entertainment, which goes through some teasing (without leaving any hard feelings), some witty scenes from Malayalam movies, and some song scenes from new films.
The callers sometimes praise the beauty of the male anchor's smile and he loves it. In one occasion (a few months back), a caller (a school girl) called up and this man was scoring so high, until one special moment.
Usually little girls address him 'chetta' (elder brother). This girl called him UNCLE and no words can explain the embarrassment that flickered through his face.
He was like – "Uncle?! Me?!" and continued with "you mean to call me uncle?"
The co-anchor also didn't waste the opportunity to give back what she had been getting till then. And that was the only moment I saw Anoop not in his full swing.
